Stanford Women’s Basketball team’s victory over Florida State marked a significant milestone, as it was their first-ever home win in the ACC. The close 89-84 triumph showcased the team’s resilience and ability to hold off a late surge by the Seminoles. Key performances by Brooke Demetre and Elena Bosgana were pivotal, with Demetre scoring a career-high 24 points and Bosgana securing her second consecutive double-double.
The Cardinal’s ability to build and maintain a lead, despite Florida State’s strong comeback attempts, highlighted their determination. Demetre’s scoring outburst in the second half and Bosgana’s all-around contributions were crucial in securing the win. Contributions from Nunu Agara, Tess Heal, and Mary Ashley Stevenson provided additional support, helping Stanford to a perfect 9-0 home record.
This win not only snapped Florida State’s five-game winning streak but also gave Stanford a much-needed Quad 1 victory, boosting their confidence as they prepare to face No. 21 NC State. The upcoming game against a ranked opponent presents another opportunity for the Cardinal to solidify their standing in the ACC and build on their recent success.
